#01 [action/phone]

[hexbell]

[The strange-looking object sitting on the table has been making noise for the some time now. Not at all knowing what it is or why it is doing this, the woman it just awakened minutes ago is staring intently, unsure of what to do about it. The device stops momentarily when she picks it up, but begins again moments later when she places it back down

Meet your new daughter

[thief_of_truth]

[Wanders into the living room and spies a new lady staring at their phone.]

"Hiya!"

Aaaaaalrighty

[hexbell]

[Putting the phone back down, on the table itself instead of the cradle so it doesn't start ringing again, Tlachtga turns and looks in the direction Kay's voice is coming from. Her response, which comes after a small moment of silence, is rather quiet.]

Hello...

[thief_of_truth]

"Hi! My name's Kay."

[Glances to the telephone.]

"...Do you need some help with that?"

[hexbell]

Mine is Tlachtga...

[The woman's gaze returns to the phone as well.] This woke me up... What is it?

[sanctusdei]

[Well okay, maybe the drone wife was up early and that's why he wasn't being nagged today. Or maybe...

After getting changed, he heads downstairs to see a new person in the house, who seems perplexed by the telephone. Oh, great.

Flatly:]

Who the hell are you.

[hexbell]

[The flat/unamused tone would have reminded her of a friend, except...the voice was clearly male, rather than female. Either way, she has at least some experience with people who tend to get straight to the point, and responds with little hesitation:]

My name is Tlachtga. Yours is...?

[sanctusdei]

[Theo looked over to the nearest endtable. There was a family photo there, which had naturally changed. Theo frowned.]

Lovely. Guess you live here now. [short sigh.] Theo.

I am assuming this occurs after the thread with Kay?

[hexbell]

[Tlachtga follows his gaze, and notices the photo as well. She finds it to be unusual; of course she recognizes herself, although she looks uncharacteristically cheerful in it.]

I apologize if this is an inconvenience... [He certainly made it sound like one.]

[ahoge_goddess]

Ah, hello?

[hexbell]

[Well, it sounds like Kay was right; there's someone trying to talk through this thing now.]

..... Hello...?

[ahoge_goddess]

Would you be new here?

[hexbell]

Yes... I would.

[perceivance]

If you're going to pick up, you could at least say something. [ His tone is polite, although the words are probably harsher than he intended. ]

[hexbell]

[Apollo might hear the handset being picked back up off the table. Tlachtga had just barely heard his words, but given she's already heard a brief explanation of what the phone is and what it does, she now realizes that she was inadvertently ignoring someone who may have been trying to talk to either Kay or Theo.]

I apologize... I am rather new to this place, and to this...[What had Kay called it?]...telephone.

[perceivance]

(I guess she must be one of those people not from Earth?) No problem, it's fine.

... Has somebody taught you how to use it yet?

Internet. Quit choking on me.

[hexbell]

[She's from Earth, alright. Except from about a thousand years after the end of the world as everybody knew it. Technology from ages ago is going to be understandably-foreign to her.]

Kay has given me a brief explanation...
